De la Fuente: Spain have recovered the spirit of 2010
Luis de la Fuente believes Spain have "recovered the spirit of 2010" with their recent exploits as his side prepare to host Croatia in the Nations League. Spain are the reigning European and world champions, having lifted the World Cup for the second time in July by beating Argentina in the final. On their way to clinching both titles, they have strung together a 39-game unbeaten streak (across 90 minutes), winning 30 of those matches (D9).
